Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave Review

3 and half Stars

The latest Nancy Drew point-and-click adventure available for download, The Creature of Kapu Cave, is actually number 15 in the series. Like all other titles in the series, Nancy finds herself in an exotic locale and gets in too deep with a mystery, while meeting a cast of suspicious characters along the way.

Wizard's Pen Review

4 and half Stars

One of the biggest gripes I have as a game reviewer who follows the casual space closely is the lack of ingenuity. That is, once there's a breakthrough game type - such as match-three, time management or hidden object puzzles - along come 101 clones that do very little to push the genre forward. Sure there's such thing as a well-made copycat, but critics like me smile ear to ear when a developer dares to try something different.

Such is the case with PopCap's Wizard's Pen, a highly entertaining puzzle game that puts a unique spin on the hidden object genre.

Lost Secrets: Bermuda Triangle Review

3 Stars

It was only a matter of time before a hidden object game was based on the mystery surrounding the Bermuda triangle - and the good news is that Lost Secrets: Bermuda Triangle does a good job of bleding an interesting story, memorable characters and hidden object gameplay.

Neverland Review

3 and half Stars

Neverland is not your typical hidden object game. At least, not as far as its narrative goes. What begins as an enjoyable toy-filled dream takes a slightly demented turn almost immediately. Think of it as Fractured Fairy Tales (from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show) meets the Brothers Grimm with a dash of Lemony Snicket on the side. It's not frightening, just slightly disturbing - but in a good way.

The Hidden Object Show: Season 2 Review

4 Stars

The Hidden Object Show returns for "Season 2" with more polish, better graphics, and - if you can believe it - even more bang for the buck. If you thought the first game was long, wait until you sink your teeth into its sequel, which boasts a mind-blowing 300 rounds - that's three times more than the first game had.
